Well, different people have their own opinion.

I have 2 models of semi-acoustic guitar:

Asthon Semi-Accoustic Guitar:
D25CEQ/DM25CEQ PACK

If versatility is what you want then a D25CEQ acoustic/electric guitar is what you need. Whether you're hanging with your mates at the beach in summer, playing gigs at your local club or touring the world to sell-out stadiums, this powerhouse can handle it. Suited to all levels of playing ability and a whole range of musical styles, it has a spruce top, rich mahogany neck, a great sounding pickup and 4 band EQ to dial your sound in just right. It even comes with a built-in fully automatic tuner. Remarkable value for money, even before you consider the amp and all the extras!

Package included:
DM25CEQ Matt or D25CEQ Gloss Acoustic Electric Guitar with Built-in Tuner
- [b]AEA10 10 Watt Acoustic Amplifier

- Gig Bag
- Cable
- Extra set of Strings
- Strap
- Picks
- DVD

Price: RM630 - price included postage fee.



D25/DM25 PACK

Rip out an acoustic guitar down at the beach, around a campfire or at a backyard party and you are pretty much guaranteed hours of sing-alongs and memorable good times. This great value Starter Pack comes with either a matt finish DM25 or a slick gloss D25 guitar. Both have classic dreadnought-styled bodies that have been crafted from sapele and spruce for a nice warm tone and feature built-in tuners for precise sound control. The generous pack of extras thrown in will make learning, practicing and playing either of these guitars a thousand times more enjoyable.

Package included:
- DM25 Matt or D25 Gloss Acoustic Guitar with Built-in Tuner
- Gig Bag
- Extra set of Strings
- Strap
- Picks
- DVD

My new rule of thumb:

Dont buy an acoustic that's worth more than RM500 if you haven't even heard of the brand before.

My brother just bought an Ashton E. guitar pack (not the acoustic) for RM480 last week. It has the same bundle as in the TS's pic.

SQ wise, since i don't have other guitar to compare with, I can't comment much about that tongue.gif . But i guess for the price, maybe it was a suitable choice for beginners........... (I think sweat.gif )

Definitely that's the one except mine is metal grey. Not the red one. (There's a pic of it in my blog under my sig).

However, for your information, I'm not a guitarist. I only played the keyboard/organ/piano. So I don't know whether the sound quality of the guitar is great or not.

I'm also just starting to learn guitar because my friends told me if I've already know how to play the keyboard, it would be easier to play the guitar. sweat.gif
